In this cross-sectional study including 1,722,479 women who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy between January 2016 and December 2019 identified in the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's Nationwide Ambulatory Surgery Sample, the prevalence rate of gynecologic diagnoses was 11.3 per 1,000. Among presumed elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the highest performance rate of concurrent gynecologic procedure per gynecologic diagnosis was laparoscopic adnexectomy among patients with benign ovarian tumor (652/1,000 diagnoses), followed by laparoscopic adnexectomy for endometrioma (386/1,000 diagnoses) and cervical conization for cervical carcinoma in situ (304/1,000 diagnoses). The measured surgical morbidity rates for patients who had concurrent gynecologic surgery and those who did not were 2.8 per 1,000 and 1.9 per 1,000, respectively (adjusted odds ratio 1.39, 95% CI 0.75-2.59). These results suggest that minimally invasive gynecologic surgeries are being performed at the time of outpatient laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the United States.
